10343685 · 2019-07-09 · ·

In one embodiment, a driving scenario is identified for a next movement for an autonomous vehicle, where the driving scenario is represented by a set of one or more predetermined parameters. A first next movement is calculated for the autonomous vehicle using a physical model corresponding to the driving scenario. A sideslip predictive model is applied to the set of predetermined parameters to predict a sideslip of the autonomous vehicle under the driving scenario. A second next movement of the autonomous vehicle is determined based on the first next movement and the predicted sideslip of the autonomous vehicle. The predicted sideslip is utilized to modify the first next movement to compensate the sideslip. Planning and control data is generated for the second next movement and the autonomous vehicle is controlled and driven based on the planning and control data.

Vehicle Slide Detection

A system for monitoring vehicle dynamics and detecting adverse events during operation is presented. Position sensors attached to a vehicle are configured to identify a vehicle orientation (heading) as well as the vehicle's direction of travel (trajectory). A system controller connected to these position sensors can detect the difference between these two measurements. When the difference between these two measurements exceeds a safety threshold, it can be an indication of a slip event. A slip event can be caused by compromised traction or stability and may lead to a loss of vehicle control. The system controller can be configured to monitor various vehicle dynamics to detect these slip events. The system controller may be configured to track geolocations of slip events to create a database of historical slip events for determining location-based risk factors and prevention of future events.
